The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking public comments on the information collection needed when requesting a copy of exempt or political organization forms, applications, or letters from the IRS. This is part of their effort to reduce paperwork burden as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. They estimate that 27,000 respondents will be involved, with each response taking about 58 minutes. Comments are welcomed until March 24, 2025, and should address the necessity, accuracy, and ways to improve data collection.
Simple Explanation
The IRS wants to hear what people think about how easy or hard it is to ask for special papers from them, hoping to make it less of a hassle and to use less paper. They think a lot of people, about 27,000, will have something to say, and it takes almost an hour for each person to do this.
